The building is in a great spot. There aren't a ton of Wharton students in the building itself (maybe 10?) but it's the perfect location with access to campus, food/drink locations, and most other Wharton student housing locations. The building itself is a bit old and there are minimal amenities, but I've had no issues hosting small gatherings with ~10 people. I probably pay more than I should for the apartment, but I'll likely stay two years because moving in general is such a hassle.

Great apartment, with a very large kitchen, separate dining room, and separate living room. There are 3 large bedrooms with in-suite bathrooms, an extra half bathroom, plus tons of closets, an in-apartment washing/drying room, and an in-apartment walk-in closet with built-in shelving. Also, awesome views of Rittenhouse and PA, with great sunsets.

Pros: spacious apartments, great location on a quiet street but right in the heart of the Rittenhouse neighborhood, friendly doormen, responsive management, reasonably priced, higher level apartments have nice views

Cons: minimal amenities (very small gym only), centrally controlled heating can be overbearing, some apartments have not been renovated in a while (though others have been).

Great location - only 2 blocks away from the park. Older building with large common space and thick walls. Management is very nice and responsive.

Older apartment building centrally located on Locust St right by Rittenhouse Park (3 minutes walk). Friendly doormen, and secure location. Floors are quiet as most tenants are families. Amenities of buildings are older, but management is quick to respond to issues.

Heating is hard to control, and the building runs on the hotter side of things.

Staff that works at the building is very helpful.

Pros:

- Near Rittenhouse Square Park / Schuylkill River Park

- 25 minutes to Wharton campus and in 5 minute radius of other popular Wharton buildings

- Lots of sunlight (south / west facing unit)

- 10 minutes to Trader Joe's

Cons:

- Have had to deal with several pests since moving in

- Management is very slow to deal with requests and requires multiple follow ups

Old building, but good value for the price. Spacious floorplans with lots of sunlight in a convenient location. Management is not always responsive and since it's an old building, you sometimes get clogged plumbing and cannot control the central heat temperature.

My apartment is super spacious, has great lighting and lots of storage space. The building is very secure and doormen are nice; maintenance is super responsive. But when the heat is on, it's a nightmare! I don't understand why they set the temperature so high.

Although the building is much older than many of the Wharton preferred apartments, the location and spaciousness makes up for it! It is centrally located on 21 and locust, but does not feel busy or overwhelming as sometimes walnut or chestnut can feel.
The rent is also quite affordable, making this building an ideal one to live in!
